About this Event

You are invited to Saint Sophia YAL's 6th Annual Young Adult Spiritual Retreat! The purpose of the retreat is to bond as a community to advance YAL's four-pronged mission of Worship, Witness, Service & Fellowship.

There are only 30 spots available! Attendance is based on a first-come, first-serve basis, meaning that only the first 30 people who register will have a guaranteed spot! If there is additional interest, we will use a waitlist.

* We will organize carpool rides and rendezvous points (a convenient metro stop) for those who need a ride as we get closer. Please let us know if you might be willing to drive some folks down. Riders will give gas money for those driving, and the ride is more fun with friends!

TERMS & CONDITIONS

All retreat participants must live in the metropolitan DC-area, or within 75 miles from the church, must be an active YAL member and have attended two formal Saint Sophia YAL events this year. For those who do not meet the criteria, we will establish a waitlist. If there are still vacancies AFTER February 1st, we will reach out to those on the list. Those who register for the event who do not qualify Thank you for your understanding as demand has been growing each and every year, and as we are a DC-area YAL chapter, we need to make sure DC-area YALers have first option for registration).

CANCELLATION POLICY

* If you decide you need to cancel your registration before February 4th, you will be reimbursed in full. Any cancellations received after February 4th are non-refundable. NO EXCEPTIONS will be made.

IMPORTANT ADVISORIES (PLEASE READ ALL):

While this most certainly will be a fun retreat for all, it is important to remember that our goal is to bond personally and spiritually, bringing us together as a community to advance our four-pronged mission of Worship, Witness, Service & Fellowship. As we are all adults, we will expect that everyone act in accordance with these standards.

1.) All participants must be aged 21 or over. Married and engaged couples will received priority for single-bed rooms. All other shared bedrooms will be split up by gender.

2.) Since this is a rented house, we must ensure we take great care to not damage anything on-site. While we do not expect anything to happen, by submitting your deposit, you submit to full responsibility for any damage you specifically might've caused. If two or more participants are responsible, the cost will be split between them.

3.) While there are six bathrooms available in the house and linens, towels, toilet paper, and soap will be provided, you are responsible for bringing your own toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, etc.)

4.) Make sure to check out the Serenity Cove House website for further details about the AMAZING house and boat dock, amenities and games, especially the basketball court, pool table, poker table, air hockey, etc! :) See Lake Anna & House pictures at: http://bit.ly/2jsXfHk.

5.) If you decide to only stay one overnight, you will still need to pay the full registration price.
